Scribd (YC '06), San Francisco - H1B, FULL-TIME, and INTERN are all welcome Scribd ("Netflix for eBooks", top 100 website, 50 people) is hiring talented hackers of all kinds to help us build the library of the 21st century. We've hired SEVEN full-time people and TONS of interns from these "Who is Hiring" threads ... it really works! We're looking for people who want to work with:

  *   Ruby on Rails (we're the #2 largest rails site, after Twitter)
  *   Javascript (well, we use Coffeescript)
  *   iOS OR Android (we're a top 10 eBook app, with a tiny mobile team)
  *   Machine Learning / data mining / recommendations - think Netflix prize, but for books!
  *   Internships: junior standing or above for all areas of engineering.
That said, we care way more about your personality and general hacking skills then what languages you've used so far, so if you haven't used these but want to break into mobile or web development, this could be a good opportunity for you. We've hired people from these threads with everywhere from 0 to 10 years of experience.

We're profitable, very well funded and have a really fun office environment (go-karts + a rock climbing wall!). Scribd alumni have gone on to found 4 other YCombinator companies, more than from any other startup. We think this says something about the kind of people that we like to hire, and we love hiring people with entrepreneur and startup ambitions.

We are also always looking for international people interested in moving to the US and can help you secure a visa.

We recently launched a service that's being called the "Netflix for books" and are really excited about it. Read more here: http://wrd.cm/1dJquzz More info is at http://www.scribd.com/jobs, but as a HN user, feel free to apply directly by emailing me at gabriel at scribd.com.

Strand

LA / San Fran (preferably local)

We are a startup looking for an entrepreneurial web developer (preferably full stack) to build a contained beta version of (what will start off as) a social media and content storage site.

We are offering compensation to "freelance" the initial contract with an eye towards continuing on with the company. At the conclusion of the initial contract, both parties will re-assess and make a determination on the potential of going full-time. Essentially a "test run" for both sides.

The ideal candidate will have experience as a full-stack web developer, have a real passion for what they do and be open to continuing the business relationship with us should we be successful and both sides enjoy the experience.

We want to create a great product and enjoy doing it and are looking for a partner as much as a we are a developer. If you’re talented, passionate, and interested in helping us build something that could be amazing, we’d love to hear from you!

Please send portfolio / website / resume and any other applicable materials.

Nod Labs - http://hellonod.com - Mountain View CA - Full Time, no remote work.

We believe our technology will fundamentally change how we interact with computers and our environment. We have built the first and only pixel accurate gestural control device, and we are just getting started.

Yourself: Self starter and mostly importantly a finisher - pick something up and deliver without supervision. You will be a manager with a team size of one - you. You will need to pick the next problem on the way to achieve our goals and solve it. You could be working on our custom OS twiddling GPIOs or you could be hacking on the backend or polishing off our iOS app. You will need to hold a lot of complexity in your head and have solid CS fundamentals. For what we do, Google may not have all the answers to your questions, github may not have any such sample code and Stackoverflow may have a vaguely related question with no replies, but you will be responsible for solving the problem.

Team: ex-(Apple, Facebook, Google, Jawbone, Lab126, NASA, Samsung). Approximately 1/3rd of the team are PhDs (or PhDs on “pause”) in various fields (Math, Physics, CS) from MIT, Stanford, CMU etc.

Along with incredibly smart engineers we are also looking for a world class Product Manager who can work with the incredibly smart engineers while also being laser sharp focused on execution.

Drop us an email at stdin@nod-labs.com

SPINS LLC - http://www.spins.com Chicago and Schaumburg, IL

Software Engineers, Designers, and QA Engineers wanted!

SPINS is the leading provider of analytics, reporting, and insights for the natural, organic, and specialty products industry. We deliver analytics to naturally-focused retailers and manufacturers, based on point-of-sale data, transactional data, and other sources.

We are looking for a variety of software engineers, designers, and QA engineers to fill out our engineering team, including staffing some new projects.

Technologies we're using include Java, Hadoop/Pig, DB2/MySQL/PostgreSQL, REST, and AngularJS. We use agile development, git, and maven.

Reasons I love working here:

- SPINS is like an established startup. About 100 people, so you have a great team and the resources you need. But friendly, casual, flexible on hours and which office you work from, free snacks, biweekly masseuse, that sort of thing.

- We are at the intersection of two awesome growth industries: big data analytics, and natural foods/products.

- We are spinning up some cool tech projects: Moving all our processing to Hadoop, new responsive webapps, and mobile later this year.

You can see some postings at http://spins.atsondemand.com/, or feel free to ping me at snoto@spins.com for the lowdown if you're interested in any engineering role.
